Buy ticket from a "mileage" agent

[alyx]

Hey

I am looking for a business ticket and the prices have become quite high ( even Sri Lankan, although still affordable, by my standards, have gone up 50 % over the past year)

I have looked at some websites offering discounted tickets ( no mileage accrual obviously) , transfering miles from one account to another, getting their commission upon transfer of the miles and some offers are good ( mind you only for the best, in my opinion, as the other fares were not that interesting.

I would like to try this system as I seem to be unable to redeem my miles, therefore I take it it is better not to "earn" any and pay a lesser ( significant ) amount

I am aware that I would lose the fare if I had to cancel the flight but I wonder how good and reliable is this system

Has anyone flown, regular basis or not, that way?

If yes, is it safe?

Which are the best dealers ( price )?

Thanks
